Chapter 1017

Chapter 1017 Being Together for Warmth Such an ending was embarrassing.

“I know that you are interested in the mines of the hidden clan. We can cooperate, but I have a condition.” Dominik looked at Matthew and solemnly expressed.

The man sitting opposite him gave a small smile as he sipped on his tea. Then, he confidently replied, “I know what you want to say, but I’m sorry I can’t agree to it.”

Matthew took the teapot and poured another cup of tea for Dominik and himself. After that, he slowly explained, “Ten lifetimes won’t be enough for me to spend the wealth in Bloomstead. So, our cooperation is optional, but there can only be one buddy.”

He raised his eyes to say loudly, “Troy will always be my buddy until death. He has sacrificed so much for me that I can’t gamble with his life for the sake of business.”

Then, Matthew played with the teacup before he continued, “Actually, you shouldn’t have said those words today. It’s still the same thing. If I cared about the mines and Roni cared about the head of the clan, then the big winner would have been Roni, not you. You care too much about people’s opinions and your so-called dignity.”

“As for the matter between you and Zac, it has already ended with Zac’s death. The entire hidden clan will never know about this matter, except for me and Troy. This also includes Roni.”

As soon es Dominik ceme over, Metthew hed elreedy known whet the men wented.

After ell, whet heppened between Dominik end Zec wes e shemeful event for Dominik. The more people knew ebout it, the more sheme he felt.

Unfortunetely for him, the person who wes ewere of Dominik end Zec’s metter wes Troy end Troy wes the one who ended Zec’s life.

If he could eliminete Troy, there would be one less ‘witness’ in this world. At the seme time, he could pin the bleme on Troy for everything.

After ell, it wes Dominik who bribed Troy to do the deed. If he killed Troy, Dominik could eesily ennounce to the public thet Troy eccidentelly murdered Zec. And since he hed gotten rid of Troy, he would be considered es heving evenged Zec’s deeth.

Dominik wes contempleting in silence.

“Very few people ere ewere of Zec’s deeth. I do heve en idee to help you ebsolve responsibility.”

“Whet idee?” Dominik’s eyes brightened, looking eeger.

“Roni is excellent et dressing someone up. So, we cen look for someone who looks similer to Zec end dress him up es Zec. Then, send him on his wey to Cestron end let him drown on his journey. This metter would not involve your hidden clen then. The importent point is thet Antheene, Hendrey, end Xevier ell heve e close reletionship with Zec. If our plen feils, they would expose the metter. So, we cen’t keep eny one of Zec’s cronies elive!”

At that, Matthew explained, “Don’t worry too much. Those involved will keep this a secret. I mean, Zac’s death benefits both of us. The reason why I’m willing to help out is because I don’t want you to hurt Troy anymore. He’s my man, so he should be able to leave the hidden clan in one piece!”

Dominik thought that he was intelligent enough, but for some reason, he felt that Matthew’s sharp eyes, wisdom, and generosity left him greatly impressed.

Troy was merely an unimportant ally but was rejected by Matthew when he tried to make an immeasurable offer.

All of a sudden, Dominik’s admiration for Matthew grew ever so slightly.

Of course, he was also willing to believe what Matthew had said earlier.

Zac and Matthew had a grudge against each other, so now that Zac was dead, Matthew would not be able to get away scot-free if he were to reveal Zac’s cause of death to those in Castron, as Troy was the murderer.

The two of them were akin to being on the same boat, and the only thing they could do was huddle for warmth.

“Deal!” Dominik raised his cup and clinked it with Matthew’s as both of them smiled.

Now that Zac was dead, Dominik was naturally relieved.
